What is Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a way to let computers learn patterns from data instead of being explicitly programmed. It’s a technique of predicting the future or classifying information to help people in making necessary decisions.
- Traditional programming → rules + data → output
- Machine learning → data + output → rules (model)
Machine Learning algorithms are trained over instances or examples through which they learn from past experiences and also analyze the historical data. Therefore, as it trains over the examples, again and again, it is able to identify patterns in order to make predictions about the future.
Applications of Machine Learning
We are using machine learning in our daily life even without knowing it such as Google Maps, Google assistant, Alexa, etc.
- Image Recognition: Tag, “Deep Face,” which is responsible for face recognition.
- Speech Recognition: Google assistant, Siri, and Alexa are using speech recognition technology to follow the voice instructions
- Traffic prediction
- Real Time location of the vehicle form Google Map app and sensors
- Average time has taken on past days at the same time
etc.
